The Tongue “Blade” is the region of the tongue …?

Answer 11

Just behind the tip

Question 12

The tongue body =?

Answer 12

Front+back

Question 13

Most speech sounds involved moving an active articulator relative to some passive articulator . An active Articulator is a structure that ?

Answer 13

Does most of the moving. This would be the tongue blade, dorsum, or the lower lip

Question 14

Most speech sounds involved moving an active articulator relative to some passive articulator . A passive articulator is a structure that?

Answer 14

The active articulator moves towards.

Example: Alveolar ridge, hard or soft palate, or the upper lip.

Question 15

The Lower lip is a(n) :

Active or passive articulator

Answer 15

Active articulator

Question 16

The lower lip is used as an active articulator in two categories of sounds.

The Bilabial
and
Labiodental

Describe each

Answer 16

The Bilabial: The active articulator is the lower lip and the passive aritculator is the upper lip. This is when the lips moves towards one another or touch. Examples of this would be “boy, pig, mop”

The Labiodental: The active articulator is the lower lip and the passive articulator is the upper teeth
Example: Fish, Violin
sounds” fuh and vuh”

Question 17

The tongue blade (the region right behind the tip of the tongue) is used as an active articulator in three categories of sounds.

Interdental:

Alveolar:

Postalveolar:

Answer 17

Interdental: The tongue blade is placed between the upper and lower teeth. The passive articulators are the upper and lower teeth
The interdental sounds are the first sounds in the
words “think” and “there,” the “th” and the “thuh” sounds.

Alveolar: For the alveolar sounds, the tongue blade touches, or moves
close, to the alveolar ridge– so the alveolar ridge is the passive
articulator for these sounds. These are the first sounds in the
words “top,” “dog,” “snake,” “zebra,” “not,” and “lip”– the
“tuh,” “duh,” “ss,” “zz,” “nn,” and “ull” sounds

Postalveolar: the tongue blade touches or
moves close to the hard palate, so the hard palate is a passive
articulator for these sounds. These are the first sound in the word
“show” and the middle sound in the word “pleasure,” and the
first sounds in the words “yellow,” “chop,” and “junk”– so these
are the “sh,” “zjuh,” “yuh,” “ch,” and “juh” sounds.

Question 18

The tongue body (aka: the Tongue Dorsum) is used as an active articulator in two categories of sounds.

Velar

Palatal

Answer 18

Velar : tongue body moves towards the soft palate (velum)
So the passive articulator is the velum.
first sounds in the
words “king” and “gum,” and the last sound in the word “ring, went.”
sounds: so the “kuh,” “guh,”
“ng,” and “wuh” sounds.

Question 19

The Velum is an active articulator

Answer 19

While the Velum can acts as a passive articulator..it can also be an active articulator because it can be
raised or lowered by muscles attached to the pharyngeal wall.
lower Velum: we can breath through nose and mouth
Raised Velum= used for speech–>only can be through the oral cavity.

Question 20

voiced sounds = ____ vocal folds

Answer 20

closed

Question 21

voiceless sounds=_______ vocal folds

Answer 21

opened –Air moves thru the larynx freely.

Question 22

What kind of speech is produced when the velum is lowered?

Answer 22

Nasal sounds

The nasal sounds are distinct from other speech sounds because hey are produced with the velum down, so that air can resonate
in and flow out of the nasal cavity. In this case, the active
articulator is the velum, and the passive articulator is the
posterior pharyngeal wall. The nasal sounds are the first sounds in “mop” and “not,” and the last sound in “ring”– so “mm,”
“nn,” and “ng” sound

Question 23

the /h/ sound is voiced or voiceless?

Which means that?

Answer 23

voiceless ..which means that the vocal folds are open
